Explanation:

Analyze IQ score distribution

Using the History of Intelligence Testing knowledge point, standard IQ tests are designed to have a mean of \(100\) and a standard deviation of \(15\). Scores between \(85\) and \(115\) represent one standard deviation below and above the mean. According to the empirical rule for normal distributions, approximately \(68\%\) of the population falls within this range.

Analyze cognitive framing

The second question presents a scenario where the same information ("low fat") is presented in different ways ("95% fat free" vs. "5% fatty"). This cognitive phenomenon is known as framing, where decisions and judgments are influenced by how the choices are presented. Thus, the information is "framed" in different ways.

Analyze systematic thinking errors

The third question describes systematic and predictable errors in human thinking. In cognitive psychology, these systematic deviations from standard rationality or optimal judgment are defined as cognitive biases.
